Kent & Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust have over the past 2 years been involved in a radical review and re-organisation of their pre-diagnosis, peri-diagnosis and post-diagnosis dementia services.  This process has fully included people affected by dementia, listening, and giving equal place at the table around proposed changes. Improvements have included the setting up of Dementia Co-Ordinators to support the person throughout their dementia journey.  They have also worked hard to provide more efficient and timely dementia diagnosis.  Dementia Envoys, who are people living with dementia, work with trust staff to run 6 dementia service user involvement groups.  They also link with a wide range of local and national organisations to improve understanding of dementia.  Other improvements include IT training and specific courses for people with dementia which are facilitated by someone living with dementia supported by a psychologist.  Learning from people with lived experience has significantly helped both people with dementia and their supporters.
